"BIMI is a very nice family run restaurant in Zurich. You can reach it by streetcar 2 or 4 or take the s-train to Bahnhof Stadelhofen and walk 5 minutes from there. The lunch menues are at reasonable prices. Sushi lunch plate incl. miso and pickles is arount CHF 45.-
I like the place and it's meals - friendly service! Reservation is recomended!

Review:

"Not bad. A mix of real Japanese and Swiss running the restaurant. They appear to specialise more in Teppanyaki than Sushi. A small restaurant. The salmon sashimi I had was not off but was not 100% fresh anymore - but I was polite and they changed it without arguement. The Maguro was good and tasty and the overall impression was OK. Portions are reasonable but not large. I give it a B+. Their website points to Hotel Ascot, but there is no reference to Sushi that jumps out from there.
"

"For those who happen to be in Zurich and have an immediate urge for sushi, all it takes is to go to the corner of (the famous) Bahnhofstrasse and Kutter-Gasse. There is a fast food restaurant owned by Moevenpick and named ´Pic Nic´"

"Really a great place to enjoy excellent food. Prices are top as well but it´s worth it. Check homepage for home delivery."

"While Takano serves food that is still miles away from authentic Japanese food, it
is still one of the best (and most expensive) in Zurich, a city where it is generally extremely
difficult to find any real Japanese food.
However, while I understand the low variety of sashimi in a landlocked, expensive country like
Switzerland, I cannot understand the careless way the sushi were prepared. Worse than the
appearance of the nigiri-zushi was the fact that I could not taste any sushi vinegar in the sushi
rice! It seemed as if the chef used extremely little vinegar - if at all.
Other dishes surprised me with their exaggerated tastes. One vegetable dish was sweeter than the
dessert, and in another dish, miso was used in extermely generous amounts, while yakitori were
served in a very hot chilli sauce. People looking for the subtle aspects of Japanese cuisine will
not find them at Takano.
Furthermore, Chinese and other unidentified cuisines were mixed with the Japanese one which I
found unnecessary and a bad match. A spring roll, for example, was served with a small nabe dish,
and some shrimps were served on a sauce that I guess to come from South East Asia. Other
curiosities were what I interpreted as pickled cucumbers in the nabe dish and the fact that Asahi
beer ads are displayed in the restaurant, but only Kirin is available.
On the positive side, the dishes (with the exception of the nigiri-zushi) were very aesthetically
prepared.
If you appreciate real Japanese cuisine, set your expectations low when you visit Takano,
otherwise, Takano is a relatively good choice in Zurich if you have the money.

"Very good Japanese Restaurant, Mr. Stefan Sch. should have the courage to put his name when he writes such a comment !
Takano has a large variety of Japanese food and Mr. Takano cooks himself. We spent our engagement evening at Takano?s, every dish at the tepanyaki grill was more than delicious.

"I'm a business man from Singapore and I love Sushi, I have been to a lot of Japanese restaurant in Europe, I find the sushi in Takano Restaurant is the best one, and the price is reasonable, I will go there again next time.
